Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup peanut oil
- 2 Tbs. plus 4 tsp. honey
- 8 slices white sandwich bread
- 3 Tbs. unsalted butter, melted
- 2 bananas, peeled, halved crosswise and quartered lengthwise
- Honey for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Put the peanuts, salt, peanut oil and the 2 Tbs. honey in a mini food processor. Process until the desired consistency is reached, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. You will need 1/2 cup peanut butter for making the panini; reserve the remaining peanut butter for another use. (It will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.)
- Preheat a panini press to 400°F according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Brush one side of each bread slice with the melted butter. Turn 4 of the slices over and spread each with 2 Tbs. peanut butter. Top each with 4 banana slices and drizzle with 1 tsp. honey. Top each with one of the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
- Place the sandwiches on the preheated panini press and cook until the bread is golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut each in quarters. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Serve with honey for dipping. Serves 4.
